The Troubles turned Northern Ireland into a ghost factory: as manufacturing industries withered, the death business boomed. Belfast, 1990s: In trying to come to terms with his father's sudden death, and the paramilitary violence meted out to his friend Titch, Jacky is drawn to confront the bullies who still menace a city scarred by conflict. However, after he himself is attacked, he flees to London to build a new life. But even in the midst of a burgeoning love affair, he hears the ghosts of his past echoing, pulling him back to Belfast, crying out for retribution and justice. Their voices are very much alive, and so Jacky reluctantly returns, in an attempt to reconcile the young man he used to be with the new path he has tried to forge for himself.
